Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • Pasta 70g
  • Beef short rib 100g
  • Garlic chives 5 stalks
  • Garlic 3 cloves
  • Butter 1 tablespoon
  • Cheese to taste
  • Salt a pinch
  • Pepper a pinch
  • Olive oil a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut garlic chives into finger-joint-sized pieces, and slice garlic thinly so it doesn’t have a crunchy texture.
  2. Bring water and salt to a boil in a pot at a ratio of about 100:1, cook the pasta, then drain and toss lightly with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Reserve the pasta water for the sauce.
  3. Heat a pan, place the beef short rib in it, season lightly with salt and pepper, and sear until just browned without becoming tough. Remove immediately to avoid overcooking.
  4. In the same pan with the remaining beef fat, add the sliced garlic and sauté over medium heat until golden, infusing the oil with garlic aroma.
  5. Once a gentle garlic fragrance rises, add the prepared garlic chives and stir-fry briefly until their vibrant green color remains bright and crisp—just until they’re slightly wilted, then remove them separately.
  6. Return to the pan with the flavorful oil, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 bowls of reserved pasta water, then vigorously stir over high heat to emulsify the sauce into a smooth, glossy consistency.
  7. When the sauce becomes thick and creamy, add the cooked pasta and gently toss to coat evenly with seasoning.
  8. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl, arranging it neatly, then top with the reserved beef short rib, garlic, and garlic chives as garnish.
  9. Finally, generously grate cheese on top like snow, and lightly grind black pepper over the dish to finish.
  1. Slice garlic chives and garlic, cook pasta and reserve pasta water.
  2. Sear beef short rib, remove, then use the leftover fat to sauté garlic and garlic chives in sequence.
  3. Add butter and reserved pasta water to the pan to emulsify, then toss with pasta and finish with garnish and cheese.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Beef short rib easily becomes tough if cooked too long—cook just until the red hue fades, then remove immediately and use as a topping to keep it tender.
  • Garlic chives lose their bright green color and become mushy if overcooked, so quickly sauté them over high heat for just a moment to coat them in oil while preserving their crisp texture.
  • When butter and pasta water come to a boil, shake the pan well to ensure oil and water blend smoothly, creating a creamy, cohesive sauce that enhances the entire dish.
